ActiveMedia to Be Showcased at the Museum Computer Network
Conference WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ClearStory Systems (OTC:CSYS) (BULLETIN BOARD: CSYS) , a leading
provider of digital asset management (DAM) solutions, announces
significant track record in helping museums and galleries to manage
and deliver their digital collections. ActiveMedia will be
showcased at the 33rd annual Museum Computer Network Conference --
"Preserving Knowledge into the Future" from November 2-5 in Boston,
MA. Among the customers to choose ActiveMedia as its digital asset
management software are the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum
associated with Leiden University and Leuven University. At the
conference, ClearStory will be demonstrating how ActiveMedia helps
museums and galleries manage digital assets and the workflow
processes involved in preserving and archiving museum digital
collections. Through leveraging the value of digital media, museums
are now able to align their cultural and organizational goals with
their business goals. The Brooklyn Museum, after a comprehensive
evaluation of multiple DAM vendors, recently chose ActiveMedia 7.0
as its high-performance, enterprise-class application for managing
valuable assets, including images of Museum objects; research
materials from library, archives, and curatorial collections; and
photographs of events, activities, and the Museum building. "After
looking at many candidates, from library/archive packages to
several commercial DAM systems, we selected ClearStory's
ActiveMedia to fulfill our need for a repository, management, and
delivery package for images and related metadata. Technical
considerations such as security, permissions, metadata structure,
workflow capabilities, and database platform played a large part in
the decision," said Deborah Wythe, Head of Digital Collections and
Services for the Brooklyn Museum. "We hope to harness those
capabilities to provide access to a wide variety of images and
metadata as we implement the system over the next several months."
Leiden University is using ActiveMedia for a collaborative project
between libraries and museums in Holland and Belgium to improve the
exchange of academic research and expand the global access to
historic cultural works, including one-of-a-kind photo assets
within its Japanology of the Low Lands (JLL) collection.
ActiveMedia preserves collection assets and facilitates global
exchange of academic research, a shared digital classroom and
distance learning environment. "We've developed ActiveMedia to help
organizations work smarter, capitalize on their assets, and
maximize their return on investment by providing a truly
innovative, enterprise-class system at an affordable price point,"
said Henry F. Nelson, president and CEO. "We're pleased we can
offer museums the option of a hosted or installed solution, both of
which can be up and running in a matter of weeks." About ClearStory
